Back home, Aariz's life had become a shadow of its former self. Layla's patience had run out, and after months of trying to make things work, she filed for divorce. Aariz, now stripped of the last thread of his comfort, couldn't help but feel lost. Layla was never his true love; Alina had always been. His heart ached for her, but he knew it was too late.
For two years, Aariz searched for Alina, but she had vanished. She had disappeared without a trace. No matter what resources he used, he couldn't find her. His days were spent chasing shadows, and his nights were filled with guilt and regret.
His mind was filled with questions — Was she happy? Was she safe? Did she have a family now? He couldn't bear the thought of her moving on, but even more, he couldn't bear the thought of her raising his children without him.
